Siemens Mobility has been chosen by Metrolinx, the regional public transit operator for the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area, to handle their track, signal, and right-of-way maintenance for the Central Region of Toronto’s passenger railway infrastructure system.
This partnership builds upon Siemens Mobility’s existing maintenance services in the West Region and signal and communications services at the Metrolinx Network Operations Center.
